the fifth. Lindgrens selection c | Forum

OAKLAND, Calif. Paris Saint Germain Boutique Officiel . --
Stephen Curry scored 24 points and dished out nine assists, and the Golden State
Warriors forced a decisive Game 7 by outlasting the Los Angeles Clippers 100-99
Thursday night. Andre Iguodala added 15 points and Draymond Green had 14 points
and 14 rebounds for the Warriors, handing Los Angeles one more obstacle to
overcome in a week full of them after Clippers owner Donald Sterling earned a
lifetime ban from the NBA for his racist remarks. The finale of the first-round
series will conclude Saturday night in Los Angeles. The Warriors limited big men
Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan even after centre Jermaine ONeal left with a
sprained right knee in the second quarter. The Clippers simply ran out of time
in the closing minute, missing three shots before Matt Barnes made a 3-pointer
with 1.1 seconds to play. Los Angeles fouled Curry, who missed both free throws.
Green grabbed the rebound as time expired, touching off a confetti-filled
celebration throughout the gold-shirt wearing sellout crowd of 19,596, which
packed an unusually warm Oracle Arena that rocked and roared throughout. Barnes
finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds, Griffin had 17 points and nine rebounds
before fouling out, and Jordan had 19 boards and nine rebounds for the Clippers,
who are trying to win just their third playoff series since Sterling bought the
franchise in 1981. Clippers point guard Chris Paul appeared hampered by the
strained left hamstring that has bothered him all series. He crouched down and
held his knees during stoppages, often wincing in pain. He had nine points,
eight assists and five rebounds. With the stakes higher than theyve been all
season, the teams traded blows in a fast and physical game that often featured
more fouls than flamboyant plays. ONeal appeared to take the worst one,
spraining his right knee when Glen "Big Baby" Davis lowered his shoulder and
crashed into him while going for a rebound in the second quarter. ONeal lay in
pain until limping to the locker with the help of teammates. He did not return.
Green filled the void for a Warriors front line already missing two centres,
including starter Andrew Bogut, who has sat out the series with a fractured
right rib. Greens physical play inside highlighted a game that officials had to
constantly control. The teams combined for 31 fouls in the first half and 52 for
the game. Griffin and J.J. Redick, and Golden States David Lee all fouled out in
the fourth quarter. The teams kept things just as close on the scoreboard as on
the court. Los Angeles led 51-48 at the half, while the Warriors went up 70-67
through three quarters. The Warriors began to pull away when Iguodala hit a
corner 3-pointer in front of the Clippers bench, falling to the floor after
drawing Griffins sixth foul with 2:31 to play. Iguodala strutted down court and
gave a low-hand slap to Green as the crowd roared to its feet with Golden State
up 96-89, but the celebration would have to wait. The Clippers came back
quickly, cutting Golden States lead to two on a 3-pointer by Jamal Crawford and
a layup by Barnes. Both teams missed several shots in the final minute,
especially Los Angeles. The Clippers missed three straight shots -- and
corralled three rebounds -- before Barnes hit the 3 with 1.1 seconds remaining
to trim Golden States lead to one. Los Angeles had no time left for one more
shot, forcing a much-anticipated finale between rising Pacific Division rivals.
The Clippers and Warriors have played 10 games this season. Each team has won
five. NOTES: The Warriors had lost seven straight elimination games since Sleepy
Floyd scored 51 points to lead Golden State past the Lakers in Game 4 of the
Western Conference semifinals on May 5, 1987. ... The Warriors have won 17 of
their past 20 home games against Los Angeles. ... Clippers reserve F
Hedo Turkoglu sat out with a lower back injury suffered in Game 5. He is day to
day. http:///...tin-maillot-psg.html
. The Canadiens accomplished both. Alex Galchenyuk scored the only shootout
goal, and the Canadiens got their fifth win in six games, 2-1 over the Bruins on
Monday night. http://www.boutiquepsgmaillot.fr/marquinhos-maillot-psg.html
. -- The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with safety Brock Vereen and QB
David Fales on four-year contracts.Jacob Lindgren, the New York Yankees top
selection, is ready for whatever pitching role his new organization has in
store. The Yankees took Lindgren in the second round with the 55th overall pick
Thursday night. New York hasnt told Lindgren whether they project the 5-foot-11,
203-pound pitcher from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi as a starter or reliever. "Its
hard to make the big league club," Lindgren said. "Im sure the Yankees will do a
good job monitoring" progress at each level to see where he fits best. Lindgren
was a talented high-school pitcher taken in the 12th round of the 2011 Major
League Baseball draft by the Chicago Cubs, yet chose college ball over the pros.
He worked mostly in relief his freshman year before earning a spot in the
Bulldogs rotation to start his sophomore season. Lindgren, though, was
inconsistent and Mississippi State coaches moved him back to the bullpen where
he said something finally clicked. Lindgren became more aggressive in
late-inning situations, he said, and that helped the speed on his fastball
improve from the upper 80s-lower 90s to mid-90s this season. He refined that at
the Cape Cod League last summer and brought that new mindset to the Bulldogs
bullpen. "My stuff was just playing out better," he said. "And I feel like its
worked out." That showed in his performance as Lindgren was one of the best
relievers in the Southeastern Conference. He led the country with more than 16
strikeouts over nine innings this season. http://www.boutiquepsgmaillot.fr/thiago-motta-maillot-psg.html.
His 100 strikeouts this year was tops among all relievers in Division I and his
draft status perked up. "I knew my junior year was going to be a huge year for
me because I had a lot to prove," he said. "Thats why I worked hard." Lindgren
had heard from many clubs including the Yankees prior to the draft, but didnt
have a strong feeling about where hed end up. He grew up a Minnesota Twins fan,
but "everybody dreams of playing for the New York Yankees and wearing the
pinstripes," he said. Mississippi States season ended last weekend, losing in
NCAA regional play to top-ranked Louisiana-Lafayette. Lindgren came on early in
the final game Monday and worked 4 1/3 innings of three-hit ball, but it wasnt
enough in the Rajun Cajuns 5-3 victory. The Yankees took pitchers with their
first five selections, including Lindgrens Mississippi State teammate Jonathan
Holder in the sixth round Friday. They also selected Connecticut high-schooler
Austin DeCarr in the third round, South Carolina lefty starter Jordan Montgomery
in the fourth and Central Michigan right-hander Jordan Foley in the fifth.
Lindgrens selection carries a slot bonus value of $1,018,700. He doesnt expect
holdups in reaching a deal and hopes to get that wrapped up as quickly as
possible and begin helping the Yankees win games. He said baseball is about
winning championships and "hopefully, we can bring one back to New York." Cheap JerseysWholesale JerseysWholesale JerseysCheap JerseysCheap NFL JerseysCheap Jerseys ChinaWholesale Jerseys ' ' '
